That's something to consider but you would have to hit a rock extremely hard to make either the bumper and or frame flex enough to damage the body, harder than would occur during slow rock crawling. I could see it getting into the body during a street speed impact with another vehicle but another ¼ inch isn’t going to make a big difference in that case. I don’t know exactly how it mounts but there could be room for adjustment for a bigger gap but given the much improved approach angle I would take it just the way it is. As far as recovery loops go I like that it allows use of the stock tow loops which are welded directly to the ends of the fully boxed Prado frame. Those stock tow loops are stronger than anything that could be mounted on the bumper it self and those loops easily accept a winch hook or a D-ring shackle and strap.
